Eco-friendly superyacht Baltic 142 Canova leaves Jakobstad

Baltic Yachts’ sailing yacht Baltic 142 Canova has recently left Jakobstad, Finland, following successful sea trials.

The 43-metre (141-foot) superyacht is set to embark on a programme of global cruising, during which her numerous innovative design features will come to the fore.

Although Canova was built purely as a bluewater cruising yacht with the aim of operating for long periods without the need for specialist shore-side assistance, she is also designed as a powerful, fast and easy-to-handle sailing yacht. In addition, her owner is keen to reduce Canova’s environmental impact with reduced emissions through hydro-generation and electric propulsion.

Lucio Micheletti styled the superstructure’s long hardtop bimini, which extends from the deck saloon aft over the large guest cockpit. A key feature on board, it incorporates touch button drop down side windows, sliding doors, ‘mood’ effect dimmable glass and the ability to take the 24-tonne load on the mainsheet track.

Micheletti also styled her understated interior, which comprises white bulkhead panelling and deckheads combined with teak timber veneers to capitalise on the abundance of natural light.

The owner’s full-beam suite is located almost amidships where there is least motion and there is further accommodation for four guests. Extensive accommodation for eight crew members is located aft.

Canova’s owner opted for a Dynamic Stability System foil to reduce heel and dramatically dampen pitching motion in a seaway, developed by Infiniti Yachts. Meanwhile, BAR Technologies worked on the bearings, naval architects Farr Yacht Design, responsible for the overall design of Canova, worked in collaboration with Gurit on the detail design and engineering and ISOTOP built the foil.

The superyacht is equipped with an electric propulsion system, a hydrogenation system feeding a large lithium ion battery bank and the means to run the yacht in ‘silent’ mode with all hotel systems running for up to nine hours.
